  • Oscar 2021 Awards Oscar 2021: list of all nominees

The

Oscars

aim to convey a sense of normalcy on Sunday. And to reinvent itself in passing. Despite the pandemic, the plan is to be less amorphous than the Emmy and Golden Globes were, forced to resort to virtual conferences to make the distribution of awards possible. Directed by

Glenn Weiss,

the gala will take place, in large part, at a Los Angeles train station - the magnificent and central Union Station - and not in a theater, as has been the case for decades, and

nominees will be able to physically attend. ,

in an intimate ceremony provided with the usual glamor of these appointments.

The proof is that there will be a red carpet, one of the best news for California's battered fashion industry. After a practically virtual awards season,

the parade of movie stars will return,

although under certain security measures due to the pandemic, as a team present to do PCR tests instantly.

They will also eliminate the usual fan stands

and the crowds from around each year. The tour of the carpet will be shorter, on a night in which

only the nominees and one companion are invited, in

addition to the presenters designated by the Hollywood Film Academy.

The idea, they say, is to partially overcome the pandemic episode and present a gala "like no other," according to a spokesman for the Academy.

For that, they will

pose the ceremony as a filming set,

collected at 24 frames per second to give the images on television a cinematic look.

"Our plan is to make this year's broadcast look like a movie, not a television show," this year's producers Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher and Steven Soderbergh said in a statement.

Of course, there will be no presenter, as in the two previous editions.

An edition that aspires to break the mold

All that scenario for an edition that aspires to break the mold. It could award the first Oscar to a Muslim actor for best actor -Riz Ahmed, for his work in

Sound of Metal-

, or the first posthumously for an African-American -Chadwick Boseman for

The Mother of the Blues

-, in addition to the second statuette for a director, the first for a foreign filmmaker, the Chinese Chloé Zhao (

Nomadland

).

The triumph of the independent film seems guaranteed, as well as that of Zhao, which would help alleviate the pressure on the Academy for the lack of equality in its awards throughout history. Even its leading

lady

,

Frances McDormand,

is the favorite for best actress, according to experts at

Variety

magazine

. They do not coincide with the prediction of the vast majority in Hollywood or the Las Vegas bets, who opt for Carey Mulligan and her thirst for revenge in A promising young woman, by Emerald Fennell. It would be strange if she did not win after a very favorable awards season for the Californian.

In addition to his foreseeable triumph, the important thing is that there will be diversity - another of the thorny points for the Academy - and not only in that category. Viola Davis and Andra Day, both African-American, start with options as best actress, and competing for the Oscar for best supporting actor will be three black performers, Daniel Kaluuya, Leslie Odom Jr. and LaKeith Stanfield. Youn Yuh-jung, the Korean, is the best placed to prevail as the best supporting actress.

By platforms,

Netflix aspires to finally have an idyllic night at the Oscars.

Mank,

the film with the most nominations with 10 mentions, is his new attempt to win the statuette for best film after the approaches with

The Irishman,

by Martin Scorsese, and

Roma,

by Alfonso Cuarón.

The reality is that it is very difficult for him in the face of

Nomadland's

favoritism

.

It seems doomed to settle for some of the prizes considered secondary.
